DESCRIPTION:Cecilia PARLATORE\, NYU\nWe develop a tractable framework to s
 tudy the optimal design of stress scenarios. A risk-averse principal (e.g.
 \, a manager\, a regulator) seeks to learn about the exposures of a group 
 of agents (e.g.\, traders\, banks) to a set of risk factors. The principal
  asks the agents to report their outcomes (e.g.\, credit losses) under a v
 ariety of scenarios that she designs. She can then take remedial actions (
 e.g.\, mandate reductions in risk exposures). The principal’s program ha
 s two parts. For a given set of scenarios\, we show how to apply a Kalman 
 filter to solve the learning problem. The optimal design is then a functio
 n of what she wants to learn and how she intends to intervene if she uncov
 ers excessive exposures. The choice of optimal scenarios depend on the pri
 ncipal’s priors about risk exposures\, the cost of ex-post interventions
 \, and the potential correlation of exposures across and within agents. We
  develop a tractable framework to study the optimal design of stress scena
 rios. A risk-averse principal (e.g.\, a manager\, a regulator) seeks to le
 arn about the exposures of a group of agents (e.g.\, traders\, banks) to a
  set of risk factors. The principal asks the agents to report their outcom
 es (e.g.\, credit losses) under a variety of scenarios that she designs. S
 he can then take remedial actions (e.g.\, mandate reductions in risk expos
 ures). The principal’s program has two parts. For a given set of  scena
 rios\, we show how to apply a Kalman filter to solve the learning problem.
  The optimal design is then a function of what she wants to learn and how 
 she intends to intervene if she uncovers excessive exposures. The choice o
 f optimal scenarios depend on the principal’s priors about risk exposure
